Professional experience
Over 5 years of active practice. Helps clients manage anxiety and depression, restore a sense of support, and overcome loneliness. Specializes in identity crises, age-related and family crises, as well as grief support. Works with somatic symptoms, psychosomatic conditions, panic attacks, and sleep disorders.
Areas of focus
specialization, area of professional interest
Feeling acutely unsupported or profoundly lonely. Anxiety and depressive states. Relationship issues—with parents, partners, or colleagues. Codependent dynamics. Identity crises, age-related or family crises. Dissatisfaction with quality of life and a desire for change. Psychosomatic symptoms—panic attacks, insomnia, chronic fatigue. Processing losses—of loved ones, homes, or pets. Dream work. I do not work with chemical, gaming, or sexual addictions, nor with patients who have severe psychiatric diagnoses.
